LEMFO LEM7 - Discussion thread

Just FYI

The OS is same as the LEMX as quoted and the wallpaper app let’s you set any picture as a watchface - almost the same as the LEM5 used to have.

Maybe you could start a new thread for the lem8?
Otherwise this LEM7 thread will become a mess…

Pablo hello. There is no firmware for the clock?

I think water got inside my lem7 because the bottom part of the screen doesn’t work when I touch it after I went to toilet…
I’ve put the watch with rice in a ziplock bag.
How long should I wait?
What other solutions must I do?

Yes there is... I am just home from work and I will post it for you now

Thanks Pablo. I’m looking forward to it.

Here you go - last post /thread/2368/lem7-official-factory-firmware-updated

Hope it helps your problem

Thanks to Pablo. But it seems that there are still problems with the screen. I have stitched your firmware and got a brick. So the firmware was 1.6. I stitched back 2.5, but the problem with the bottom of the screen remained.

Ah ok. I thought you said your original firmware was v1.0.... V1.6 was a very early version of the firmware for the LEM7. It was only on the very first watches released months ago when the LEM7 first launched.

In this case I have no idea what the problem is…

Anyway, thanks. Apparently the problem is in the display itself, and it’s not just me, it’s written by other users on the 4PDA forum

  • dinatron,
    I also do not have a working wheel at the bottom. When the humidity-operation of the air conditioner-switching of the screen selection changes, spontaneous-until the clock goes out
    .

I have a KW88 watch with such a cover the third year and Q7 +, more than a year.

The point of this is to dry the inside of the watch. I have never used the rice method unless the item is open to the rice. It doesn't make sense that the rice is going to quickly extract moisture thru the case or even a very small opening in the case. If you do nothing it will eventually evaporate on its own rice or not. By the way if you suspect moisture in the watch you want to turn if off immediately since moisture on some electrical contacts may cause a short and damage the watch beyond repair. What I do is if possible just place the watch or item in direct sunlight ☼ and let the heat from the sun dry it out for as long as possible. If I can't do that I will place it in an regular oven set to about 90° F or 32° C or less or "Warm" with a toaster oven. If you can open  the sim card panel it would work better. I live on a boat and when I was traveling 9 months out of the year I dealt with wet electronics more that most people do in a lifetime. This is what I found worked best for me and returned my devices to service a lot quicker.

Yes a hair drier will work too I just found the sun or oven option easier.

Is the 90° in Fahrenheit or Celcius?
Anyway thanks for the input

That would be 90° F. 90° C would be 195° F. A bit on the warm side. I will update the post.

Thanks for this Pablo, I will flash my watch back to nhh and see what’s good. Also, I have just bought another one :heart_eyes: and it has v1.9 so I will update that to 2.5.
Thanks again

Only update your watch with v2.5 if your current firmware version does not have nhh in its name.

Mine is in the mail on it’s way to China after few weeks of screen issues. I’m pretty sure it’s no software issue, but life waterproof design issue. Always started after sweating a bit more than usual. In the end, screen kept on moving in all directions without touching it. Hope to get a better one. Fingers crossed.

Hello Friends,
I own a Lem7, upgradet to 2.5…
There ist no notification Sound, while beeing connected with my Smartphone…and Messages coming in…
Only Vibration, is this normal?
